Nuclear fuel pellets and method of manufacturing the same.

摘要

The present invention provides improved nuclear fuel pellets having high thermal conductivity for use in an LWR. This can be achieved by creating a continuous deposition phase of high-thermal conductivity substances in the grain boundaries in the pellets. As a result, the temperature in the center of the fuel rod can be significantly reduced, and the discharge amount of gases generated on the nuclear fission can be efficiently reduced. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing the above-described nuclear fuel pellets.
